$num_rows is only available after all results have been fetched - MySQL does not send that information separately. STORE'd results are buffered internally so $num_rows works immediately but USE'd results are not buffered.

If you want $num_rows before fetching then you need to use MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT or call mysqli_stmt::store_result().

The documentation only gives a brief mention of this, though there is a user comment that explains it in more detail.

Like as I see, There is some others method internal storing of data, one available for code and other hide. Sense of manual is different.
